Open letter to Cameroon Professional Society( CPS)
Dear CPS
I sincerely congratulate all of you for your effort in celebrating professionalism since many of you appear to be accomplished professionals within the United States of America. God has buttered your bread inside America and to God be the Glory and oncemore, kudos to all of you, CPS officials and members.
How can we build a virtuous and free Cameroon society by injecting the subject of professionalism into the bundle of ideas and ways through , which we must build and transform Cameroon? As you know, I recently published an article about reforming the Cameroon Government Scholarship Board and this was because it was and is corrupt in spite of the fact that we may have professionals on the board!
So, what is happening to Cameroon and Cameroonians , and why are most professionals leaving the country for good?
I hope you are all going to give me your ears beyond prejudice and stereotypes for at least 15 minutes to address this subject of Professionalism as my own token healthy and productive contribution to progress and development of Cameroon and humanity. As a professional , I am always very sick when I see Cameroonians acting unethically and unprofessionally eventhough many of them have graduated from some form of professional school with a professional degree or certificate/diploma.
Acting professionally guarantees efficiency as well as ensures that everyone is treated with respect and dignity with respect to execution of our duties.The lack of professional environment has enabled mediocrity and abuse of power, and all of us do question the sense and spirit of professionalism in our society and among ourselves as Cameroonians! Now, I wonder if we need to learn something new?
James R Ball writes in his book , Professionalism is for Everyone: Five Keys to being a True Professional" , that
" Why should you make the effort to learn what its means to be professional and then to think and act professionally? Use the PRO acronyms... When you are a PROfessional , you will enjoy Pride, Respect and Opportunities that others will not"
Do you believe, as I do, that we need to introduce the subject of Professionalism into the Cameroon Educational System from elementary level to the University and Professional Training Schools and Institutions in order to teach, equip and nurture a new generation of Cameroonian work force that will salvage our society from immorality? So, we need a very special curriculum for a way forward because unless we learn and then teach or inculcate the idea and ideals of professionalism into Cameroonians, it will be hard to come out of the dungeons of corruption affecting all the institutions and most families in
Cameroon and among Cameroonians
People have never been taught how to be free, transparent and accountable and most importantly to be professional because we were all born into a very bad and corrupt society. That is why I am more optimistic and forward looking because without this consideration, we will find it hard to establish the perfect diagnosis of our problems. If you do, then I am calling upon you all to join us to make this happen in a new Cameroon beyond the current corrupt establishments. If you guys say that you are apolitical, well, that is fine but we , all have to be able to hold both government and the civil society accountable regardless of our political leanings
Why do you think Cameroon as a nation and people lack( PRO) Pride, Respect and Opportunities ,which is why almost everyone is fleeing from the country including the children of the kleptocracy( children of the corrupt ruling government officials )? About 90% Cameroonians are very corrupt. The Cameroon society is extremely corrupt from top to the bottom to the extent ,which the few ones who have done their utmost to be professionals are the odd ones! To begin with, the tragedy is that the political system is a corrupt tyranny and is highly responsible for the culture of corruption since it survives only under corruption.
Therefore, about 90 % of Cameroonian professionals starting from the President down to the Principal of Elementary Schools or Post Office employees are corrupt. I am talking about lack of the spirit of duty consciousness and professionalism, which leaves people the option to abuse their offices without being accountable. So, how can we fix Cameroon so that there is a certain degree of professionalism and accountability by those who render services to us in both the private and public sectors?
Entrance examinations into the Cameroon so called Professional schools is corrupt beyond corruption, appointments to high positions of responsibility is corrupt and too often sex and material offers are traded to secure juicy government appointments! There is a scary level of fraud and corruption at the Cameroon Higher Education with some University Professors and officials corrupt as they award diplomas to students who are not deserving especially to females that have affairs with some male professors.
The Police Force is even more corrupt as police officers are notorious for collecting bribes from transportation vehicles instead of enforcing laws that the drivers have violated!
Before you ever think of engaging us Cameroonians, my fellow Cameroonian Professionals, I wanted to introduce you to a very useful resource, which I find quite intriguing and well written to inspire those who believe in professionalism and are determine to apply professionalism in what they do everyday in the service of the civil society and humankind. This is just one of the numerous books, which I have read and understood, and working towards enforcing its principles and ideals in a new Cameroon government.
James R. Ball oncemore, highlights the five keys of being a true Professional as follows;
Character,Attitude,Excellence,Competency,Conduct
As you all know, being a professional requires more than just a degree from a professional school because the concept of professionalism is measured by the tasks we perform as assigned to us within a given work force whether in the public or private sector. I tend to be very curious because many of you talk about Cameroon professional society outside of Cameroon and I wonder how relevant this is to Cameroon as a nation and people or better still, in what ways are you connected with the effort to empower Cameroonians to be more professionals by STOPPING CORRUPTION AND DISHONESTY, FEYMAN, FRAUD, LIES AND CROOKERY?
Conclusion
Can we begin to have an honest and frank conversation about a new Professional outlook for Cameroon society ,which is currently lacking in professional ethics or professionalism? Where are you Cameroon professional society members located and what is your take on the state of tyranny and dictatorship against Cameroon by dictator Paul Biya and his criminal corrupt CPDM regime?
Do you think you can become successful professionals inside Cameroon under the current system of government and if not, why not and what are your suggestions as to what we can do to transform the Cameroon work force into a team of meritorious professionals like those of you whose bread have been buttered by the United States free society? Can you guys help me to understand exactly what this Congress is all about?
This organization has been around since 2009 shortly after the vision I launched to empower a new generation of Cameroonians to focus on how we could work together to influence genuine change in our country, Cameroon. I have been waiting to see if there is any more substantive and productive works from these group other than fanfare,ceremonies and awards ,which seem to characterize their annual congresses!
Thank you for your interest and consideration
